    It has happened to me and us several times over the years. Myself in a few services, and several time to both of us at home.

    One time, this was probably just about 4 or 5 years ago, Mrs fuego was kind of cranky during the day, and she is NEVER like that, so I thought it was unusual. I just kinda treaded lightly most of the day. Then that afternoon about 5, she was sitting in the recliner, and I said to her very carefully (), what's up with you today? It seems like you've just been cranky all day. And she says I don't know. I've just felt this way since I got up. I don't know what it is.

    So just kidding around, I walked behind the recliner and put my hands on her head, and yelled, "Come out of her you spirit of crank!" When I did that, the Holy Spirit hit us both and I bet we gut laughed for 20 minutes. When done, 'it' was gone and she was back to normal. Delivered by the joy and laughter. :)

    That's funny! Maybe my husband can use that on me when I'm sleep deprived.

    My head bounced off concrete when the "catcher" had a "look there's a bird!" moment ... I was out under the power and the pastor and Ken were standing there debating an ambulance ... when I "came to" I had received a powerful healing in my body and no damage to the noggin.

    To me it looked like the man fell at a normal speed but slowed down just enough at the end just without his body jerking into a whiplash. It just looked smooth.

    No courtesy fall for me. I fall maybe once every ten years. Keith Miller once grabbed my hand and the next thing I know I was flying in the air like I was judo flipped. I was looking up beside the piano at him as he laughed. I asked my wife what happened to me ? She said he touched you and you went up in the air and came down !

    I never courtesy fall ... and I tend to fall in seasons (sometimes it happens a lot. sometimes it doesn't). I just relax and let Holy Spirit do His thing.

    I do admit to pushing back on the rare occasion that a minister gets "pushy". That doesn't happen much in our movement, though (probably because most of us do that!)

    In those cases I always ask..."What has the husband done this time?"

    Well I knew it wasn't anything I could have done.
